Koreans Bring Lao Cuisine to Korea

[ProudLao]

Newly opened Lao Piak is one of only 2 Laotian restaurants in Seoul

Two young women in their early 30s have been close friends since college. Both graduated from high school in Korea and went on to the University of Virginia in the United States, where they first met. When they graduated, they both went into television ― one became a TV presenter and the other a producer at major local broadcasters.

They prepared for the TV jobs together and kept in close touch and traveled together when they started working. After five years in their respective positions, they both quit.

Kicking their established jobs to the curb, the two women set out on a completely new, risky adventure to open a Laotian restaurant called “Lao Piak” on a tranquil street in Mangwon-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. One year into its opening, the restaurant is a success.

Nice. If I ever go back to Seoul again and can't take Neoguri or seaweeds everyday, I'll look for Lao Piak.

Cool, at least those two Korean ladies don't call the food, Korean food like how some Hmong call Laotian food "Hmong food" when it's really Laotian food....
